Additional safety warnings

1. 

Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, 

pressure treated lumber, or wood containing 

knots.

 Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-

out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating 

the blade tips.

2. 

Do not attempt to remove cut material when 

blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before 

grasping cut material.

 Blades coast after turn off.

3. 

Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all 

nails from lumber before cutting.

4. 

Place the wider portion of the saw base on 

that part of the workpiece which is solidly 

supported, not on the section that will fall off 

when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short 

or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD 

SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

5. 

Before setting the tool down after completing a 

cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the 

blade has come to a complete stop.

6. 

Never attempt to saw with the circular saw 

held upside down in a vise. This is extremely 

dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

7. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier 

safety data.

8. 

Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on 

the saw blade.

9. 

Do not use any abrasive wheels.

10. 

Only use the saw blade with the diameter that 

is marked on the tool or specified in the man

-

ual.

 Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect 

the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-

tion which could result in serious personal injury.

11. 

Keep blade sharp and clean.

 Gum and wood 

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and 

increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean 

by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with 

gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. 

Never use gasoline.

12. 

Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when 

use the tool.

13. 

Always use the saw blade intended for cutting 

the material that you are going to cut.

14. 

Only use the saw blades that are marked with 

a speed equal or higher than the speed marked 

on the tool.

15. 

(For European countries only)  

Always use the blade which conforms to 

EN847-1.
